Bridge to Somewhere

By Kay Gardiner 9/23/10

Dear Ann,
While we’re on the subject of public displays of knitting, this took my breath away. Amazing. All held together with plastic zip-ties.
This just in: Kind reader Virginia has pointed us to this Flickr collection of photos of CamBRIDGE.
Love,
Kay

As a proud local, and a contributor to the KNITcamBRIDGE, I can say: the bridge is every bit as spectacular in person as in those pictures — in fact, probably more so! Two of the photos from the KnittyBlog post were taken several days before the unveiling (by my papa) so the bridge was still incomplete!
I’m not sure if I can post a URL in a comment without being blocked as spam, but there is a Flickr group dedicated to the bridge, and the photos are just astounding. (flickr.com/groups/knitcambridge/pool/)

I’ve never commented on a blog before but I just have to say thank you for sharing that link for the CamBRIDGE. It just puts a smile on my face to see what knitters (and crocheters)can do to make the world a better place.

dear kay thank you i want me a bridge perhaps
we could all find one would bloomberg lend
us one ? – i live florida but not sure who will
be gov or i would suggest the skyway bridge
i truly admire every one who took part the links
are great bring them up close look at all the
differnt patterns and yes this helped my day

“The bridge cozy will be in place until September 27th.” That statement and the photos bring a simultaneous smile to my face and a tear to my eye. Don’t know why that is, but…wow. Very special. Very moving. Thank you CamBRIDGE knitters (and thanks to Kay for the post.)

Kay — Right after I posted my concerns, I saw your snippet with the article about what if the health inspector came into my kitchen? Horrors! If the kitchen sink is off limits for hand washing, the folks at my house are going to be walking around with filthy hands (at least we know to scrub the daylights out of any food that is dropped in the sink). I feel the need to add to my Clorox stash.

ann is trying to understand al accents
the mocking bird is on stage again
she has a little twit on the right side
of the page now and again
i guess they are grownups do as they please
without asking or leaveing a note

I guess we could talk amongst ourselves while Ann and Kay are gone from the blog. Did they leave any good drinks and snacks? You check the refrigerator, and I’ll check the pantry.
Anybody knitting/quilting/sewing anything interesting that you want to tell us about?
